Apple’s new iPad launches in the U.K. and nine other countries today, finally bringing a high-resolution Retina display to the hugely popular tablet. It’s also packing a 5-megapixel iSight camera and quad-core graphics, but is it worth your hard-earned cash? We went hands-on with the new device to find out.
With that new high-resolution Retina display, a 5-megapixel iSight camera that takes great photos, quad-core graphics, and speedy 4G LTE connectivity, Apple’s new iPad never looked like it would disappoint. But just in case you needed confirmation, here’s a snippet of the first reviews from some of the tech world’s biggest pundits:
When I upgraded to the iPad 2 from the original iPad, one of the features I was most looking forward to was its camera. You can imagine my disappointment when I took my first photo with it and found that it really wasn’t worth Apple’s efforts.
Despite the official launch of the third-generation iPad not taking place until this Friday, the 16th of March, Vietnamese tech blog Tinhte.vn has somehow managed to get hold of a white 4G version already and created an unboxing video featuring it.
In a rare interview published earlier today by the London Evening Standard, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Industrial Design, Jonathan Ive discusses life in California, the creative process at Apple, and why he thinks the company’s competitors struggle to make better products.
With shipping dates for the new iPad already pushed back in the UK, US, and other countries, an Apple spokesperson has issued a statement to USA Today confirming that the company has now sold out of its pre-order stock.
If you haven’t already pre-ordered a new iPad, you probably won’t be able to get one delivered to you on its 16th of March launch day. Just three days on from Apple unveiling their third-generation tablet, shipping times for it have been pushed back in the UK, US, and other countries.
Apple is really proud of its new iPad’s high-resolution Retina display and 5-megapixel iSight camera, and it’s using its website to really show them off. In addition to a gallery of images and videos taken on the new device, the company also provides a nifty feature that allows you to compare the new iPad’s display with that of its predecessor.
Following its media event in San Francisco yesterday, Apple has released the first TV advert for its new iPad, highlighting its high-resolution Retina display, which boasts 3.1 million pixels at 246 pixels per inch.
